very excited, very high hopes for the obama administration. i myself rhodopes call the with the white house all about how the obama administration could embrace technology to open a real window into the goings on in the west wing and a policy is developed and all that stuff. obviously almost none of this happened. you know, these goals were not by any objective notion reached from the press secretary coming in on day one and treating the reporters just like his predecessor had, trying to fend off questions that were actually genuinely address and try to help explain was going on. from, you know, the a good date is still being, you know, and accessible. so obviously there were some friendly feelings toward these folks at first. still are. norman eisen was a great guy. but here obama, talking about obama having learned from the first four years and no longer negotiating before he goes. is there any thought that the community has learned here and enough -- that they are going to get past off because the crumbs are not enough anymore or are you gu

this is a reflection of the obama administration to take this issue seriously. it was demonstrated last october when the palestinian authority was made a member of the u.n. scientific and cultural organization, when it never should have been. palestine is not a state. that's a fact. when the u.n. engages in this kind of activity it shows a real lack of administration commitment to stop it from happening. >> greta: what does it mean as a practical purpose? >> it has a couple of practical implications. the first is the general assembly having decided that palestine is in a state, it's now in a position to go to every other u.n. specialized agency and get admission, which will trigger off a cutoff of u.n. funding, number one. number two, i think there will be a reaction in congress. senator orrin hatch has said he'll introduce legislation to cut off funding for the u.n. itself. finally the palestinians will try to accede to a number of treaties only open for states like the international criminal court treaty and others to engage in what people call law fair agains
